Better off as ex-fiance than ex-wife/husband right? These celebs did put a ring on it but never made it down the aisle. Unfortunately, sometimes engagements don’t end in forever afters and these celebs know it all too well. Divorces are all too common these days, with thousands of couples hiring lawyers and solicitors from firms like Eatons to legally separate them from their spouse. Divorces are time-consuming and can cost a lot of money, especially if you’re a celeb, so it’s not surprising these couples wanted to separate before signing on the dotted line. Here are SA celebrity couples who called off their engagements.
